Lillies, stocks and roses in an old wicker perambulator.

Red roses and gladioli were the main flowers
in this theme which included old childrens books toys and puppets.

A childrens farm was the theme in this display

White roses, stocks and gladioli were used to good effect
to depict a childs christening

The main display at the front of the church
was very colourful and full of interesting memorabilia including
a full size childs rocking horse
and a fully working scale model railway.
There was a striking arrangement of sunflowers.

This hanging arrangement was one of three placed down the ailse of the church.
